I'm writing with so much on the heart and yet so little to write. :) Such a fool am I! Let it suffice to say that life is rushing by me with lightning speed... so much can happen in such a short time. In the latest news, my mother and brother, Brent, returned from the mission field in Nicaragua, I sent off a hundred songs to the Library of Congress Copyright Office, I was blessed to serve as the maid-of-honor in my best friend's wedding, I saw her off at the airport for her honeymoon to Scotland and her following move to the Chinese mission field, our church worship ministry unexpectedly took a turn for a "rest period," I've found the company of old friends still as precious as ever and the company of present loved ones a refreshment to my soul, teaching lessons continues several days a week, I now know I'm a rather industrious warehouse worker when Dad's company has need of me, I have two remaining courses until my college is completed, and some nights, I sleep. :) God has been tremendously good to me. Whether in rain, shine, joy, or sorrow, He's simply so gracious, and I continue to stand in awe...

I love you all so much and pray that God is blessing each and every one of you. The Lord be with you, dear ones. I'll try to write again soon and leave behind me the apostasy of my wandering ways... You see, I never meant to "desert" any of you here, and I promise to come again, as soon as I can. All my love...
